Template:Col-begin
This documentation is transcluded from Template:Col-begin/doc (history).
This template is a self-reference and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
The {col-begin} and {col-end} codes let you make columns of text in your wikipedia article. You can vary the widths and numbers of columns by using various additional codes. See below for examples!
Usage
A border of 2px (1px width on each side) corresponds to a 5%. Therefore, with a 2px border — for example, as in Wikipedia:Tutorial (Wrap-up and more info) — the width needs to be 95% for the table to fit within the screen. Since it's possible that some tables might not have a border, correction on the individual page could be made after substitution. Another way to create a two column table is like this:
{col-begin|width=95%} |- | Left column | Right column |} |
{Col-begin} {Col-2} Column 1 here {Col-2} Column 2 here {Col-end} |
{Col-begin} {Col-3} Column 1 here {Col-3} Column 2 here {Col-3} Column 3 here {Col-end} |
{Col-begin} {Col-4} Column 1 here {Col-4} Column 2 here {Col-4} Column 3 here {Col-4} Column 4 here {Col-end} |
and so on, up to {Col-7} |
{Col-begin|class=references-small} {Col-break} Column 1 here {Col-break} Column 2 here {Col-break} Column 3 here {Col-break} Column 4 here {Col-break} Column 5 here {Col-break} Column 6 here {Col-end} |
{Top} Column 1 here {Mid} Column 2 here {Bottom} |
{Columns-start|num=3} Column 1 here {Column} Column 2 here {Column} Column 3 here {Columns-end} |
{Multicol} Column 1 here {Multicol-break} Column 2 here {Multicol-break} Column 3 here {Multicol-break} Column 4 here {Multicol-end} |
